Justice come in many ways. Mission accomplished indeed. Some people are so cruel and they do not think twice when they hurt other people so they must be prepared for the consequences of their actions whatever it may be. I love the story.
This is an amazing concept, one that I completely enjoyed. This author took a book she was planning to write, about a character that was introduced in previous books, and through a series of novellas, gave us a taste of what was to come! Now they are all together, in one awesome book. I loved getting to know Brian and Clarice, and I can’t wait to read their HEA!
Rendezvous:
This is definitely not your normal romance novel. There isn’t really a HEA, but there is a satisfactory conclusion to the story. There is really 2 focuses of the story, the “rendezvous” between the main characters, Clarice and Brian, and the mystery to be solved. The main characters come from KD Robichaux’s Alias series. As advertised in the blurb, this isn’t really an entire story, but more a part of a bigger story. It is an excellent intro to the seris, and definitely pulled me in. I’ve read the rest of the Alias series, and this definitely fits right in with the other books.
Clarice and Brian are a couple that really aren’t a couple. They are friends, but more. Robichaux definitely left me wanting more, but I’m don’t really feel like its left unfinished, or that its a cliff hanger. I feel like she accomplished what was meant to be done in this novella, but hinted at more to come. She has said that there will be a series of novellas with Clarice and Brian, spanning several different “missions”, and ending with their own novel and HEA. To me, this is something I’ve not seen done before, and I’m really looking forward to it! If you are a fan of Robichaux, you definitely don’t want to miss this one. If you haven’t read any of her stories, then you should totally catch up! All of her books are worth the read.
Karma’s Pawn:
Another city, another mission, another glimpse into the life of Brian and Clarice. This time, girls are disappearing from the college and Brian has come to Raleigh, NC at the request of his friend to try to find out why. Clarice is in town on business, and meets Brian for some….shenanigans! This story has some extra plot twists, secrets, and drama built in, and really threw me for a loop at a few points. I didn’t see it coming, and it totally made my heart skip a beat!
As with Rendezvous, this is not a complete romance, and should not be read with that expectation. It is a glimpse into what is coming. However, there is still a mystery to be solved, things to figure out, and bad guys to stop. You also don’t have to read the previous books to keep up with what is going on, but it does add to the overall experience if you have!
I am loving these little bits that KD Robichaux is throwing out there about Brian and Clarice, by way of different “missions”! This is such a fun idea, and really is building the anticipation of the HEA that has to be coming for them!
Until We Meet Again:
Once again, Brian is racing across the country, doing his part to make sure the bad guys don’t win. Once again, Clarice is there to support him, in her own way. This little slice of time that we get to spend with Brian and Clarice gives just a bit more of a glimpse into their relationship, a little shot of things to come, just a hint of what might be next. And this story is HOT to the nth degree! OMG, its hot enough you just might need a fire extinguisher! Wow! There just isn’t another way to put it.
But underneath of the heat, and the danger, there lies a hint of feelings, hope, and a possible future, that just grabbed me and made me catch my breath. I couldn’t help but think about what could possibly be coming to top this mission!
Until We Meet Again: 5 stars! Absolutely fabulous! I am so into these two. I love the playful banter and the games both before and after the mission is done. I can’t wait for Clarice to get her head out of the sand!
Karma’s Pawn: 4.5 stars! Although it was a novella, the story and characters felt more developed in a short time. I enjoyed the overall storyline and how Clarice jumped right in to help – that spitfire is full of trouble! The ending was great and has me eagerly waiting for more 🙂
Rendezvous: 3.5 stars. I enjoyed reading about Brian and Clarice in a different world. I know novellas are supposed to be short, but this one felt it. I would have loved just a little more…. more. Despite that, I still loved these characters!
Rendezvous: OMG, the first 2 pages grabbed me! I totally loved the phone interaction between Brian and Clarisa! What a cute couple! The job Brian was working was interesting as well. Overall a fun, short 5 star read! I want more of Brian & Clarisa, please, ma’am!
Karma’s Pawn: This was heart pounding. Lines are crossed. I highly recommend reading Rendezvous* first to get a fun grasp of the relationship of Brian and Clarice. But if you jump right in to Karma’s Pawn, have the doors locked and the lights on! My heart was pounding and I sat up straighter. If I was prone to nail biting, I wouldn’t have any now. For only 6 chapters/novella it’s a full story … but I still want more of Brian and Clarice! No doubt about it, Author Kobichaux has a captivating way with words!
Until We Meet Again: This is another quick glimpse into the relationship? of Brian and Clarice, and it’s just not enough! Brian is called out on a mission that’s an in and out. Clarice as always, makes immediate time to be/go with him. Their banter, their games, their charisma! They’re skirting the truth of their shared feelings. I need more! Their story isn’t over!
Although this novella can be read as a standalone and throughly enjoyed, I highly recommend to first read Rendezvous and then Karma’s Pawn to fully appreciate Brian and Clarice, some background about them and some explanation in Until We Meet Again that has more meaning if you’re up to date on the Crossover!
